Ignoring the fact that you don't seem to know what a laptop battery is, it looks like you could have a promising career as a data center site planner.

Not to mention, blocking more ads and other unnecessary stuff == better performance on the stuff you were actually trying to view. It very likely comes out as a net performance win even with a ~20% disadvantage in raw CPU speed.

"Firefox vs. Chrome: Which Performs Better on a Linux Laptop?"

Some people care about battery life.

Yeah this, load Firefox up with the usual goodies like UO and run this test again, I guarantee different results. Blocking all that garbage improves performance.

I absolutely do not think we should punish anyone else for what they do. I absolutely think we should hold them accountable for enablement.

But I am in general against the death penalty, we have alternatives to that. ICE agents should work off their debt to society and humanity in some constructive fashion.

Correct. You can tell this is the case just from the blather, though. It wasn't a trip to the moon, it was a flyby! I'm not trying to diminish the accomplishment (if anything it's diminished by the cost, and the throwing away of formerly reusable engines, not by the fact that they didn't land) but lying about it is shitty of Jared Isaacman.

There was a time we needed TSA. But that was decades ago. Then we got armored cockpit doors and passengers willing to tackle terrorists.

The TSA has never foiled even a single terror plot and misses 66-75% of dummy weapons and bombs when tested. The TSA is a jobs program for pieces of shit willing to grab people's genitals before they fly.

He literally explained how and why it wasn't his job, but reading comprehension is too much to expect from you.

ICE agents absolutely do deserve to watch their loved ones die on repeat. Their loved ones don't deserve it, but that's absolutely what ICE agents are causing to happen to other people, so fuck them, fuck them, fuck them, fuck them forever. And fuck anyone who enables them, including by making excuses for them or defending their actions, forever and ever amen.

It is good to see Reddit take this stance, but they have to. If they don't, even more people will flee their platform.

You are the one who brought religion into the picture. If you aren't even aware it's religion, then your lack of self-awareness is especially pathetic, but typical of religious people.

They do, I voted for Biden, I voted for Harris, but I wasn't happy about it.

Running Windows in a virtual machine under linux with an emulated TPM is one reasonable way to keep it relatively under control, I guess. But the graphics drivers are, shall we say, low on features.

It's an American tradition!

A lot of printers are poop. A lot of printer drivers are poop, including ones for Linux. If I want my printer to "just work" then I need to install packages. Luckily Brother produces them, and they have been doing so for years now. I've done several OS upgrades and always had new drivers available to me for them. But if they didn't do that, it would still work, I just wouldn't be able to use it via USB. My Laser PSC supports both printing and scanning via standard protocols. The only thing that wouldn't work is the on-device buttons, which I don't use anyway.

Therefore this is either user error at setup time, or user error at purchase time. That is no comfort to a home user, but we're talking about a nation here.
